Benefits of buying a MAME machine

When it comes to arcade machines, we really know our stuff, here at Williams Amusements. From custom built bespoke machines, to hiring out our machinery for temporary use, we cover all arcade machine angles. This includes MAME machines. But what are MAME machines, and why are they so popular? Well, this is our guide to the benefits of buying a MAME machine.

What is MAME?

The first question to look at, is what exactly MAME actually means. Well, it actually stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator.
As the most famous and well known emulator in the world, the MAME arcade machines can play any and all of your favourite arcade games, without needing the original hardware or software to run. Instead, it uses the computer system, known as the host, and allows it to behave like another one, known as the guest. As a result, you can play classic, older arcade games, that were built for long out of date systems. And the gameplay will be flawless, as it is using new, up to date technology to emulate the older game.
